PIPE-FITTING.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 14, 1907.

Applieationfiled November 10,190e. Serial No. 342,895.

To all whom it may concerns- Be it known that I, FISEL KIMeHE, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Detroit, in the countyv of Wayne and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Im rovements in Pipe-Fittings,

of which the fol owing is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

'Itis'the object of the. invention to obtain a fitting especially'des'igned for use in bath rooms, to which all of the drain connections may be easily and quickly attached, and which will conform -to all the sanitary requirements in force in many municipalities at the resent day.

To tliis end, the invention consists in the peculiar constructions of a tee or cross pipe tting, as hereinafter set forth.-

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of the fitting; Fig. 2'is a plan view thereof; Fig. 3 is a cross section on line nc-r, Fig. 1; and Fig. 4. is a view similar to Fig. 1 illustrating a modification In general construction, my improved fitting comprises a-vertical pi c section A of a suitable size to form the soi pipe ofa closet, and one or more integral laterally extending pipe arms B, to which the various pipe connections are attached. As illustrated in Fig. 1, the arm B is provided at its outer 'end with an up-turned elbow (J, adaptedv for direct connection with'the closet. Intermediate this elbow in the pipe section A are laterally extending nipples for connecting with the othei ndrain pipes, such as that of a washstand and a bath tub. I preferabl rovide two of these nipples D and E exten mg oppositely from the upper-portion of the pipe arm B. T l'ius, in use, the vertical section A may be arranged conveniently for connection with the downwardly extending soil ipe, and at its upper end 1s connected to t e upwardly extending air vent pipe. The up er and. lower ends of this section A, F and are suitably fashioned for connection with the adjoining pipe sections, the

, one forming the socket member, and the other a member for fitting the socket of an -ad'acent. pipe.

' room, and when the various drain connections are attached, an absolutely tight systions are to be made on difierent floors with a common vertically extending soil pipe, the section A is connected into this pipe to form a portion thereof. For such a use, it is necessary to provide a separate vent connection, and to this end a nipple is formed at the intersection of section A with the upper side of the arm B, as illustrated at H. To this nipple a vent pipe may be attached, which can be arranged parallel to the vertical soil 1 e. p In Fig. 4 is illustrated the construction in which there is a second laterally extending arm I formed integral with the section A, and preferably directly opposite the arm B. This arm is adapted for connection with a laterally extending soil pipe from another closet where there are more than one upon the same floor.

The socket member F, in addition to its function as a coupling with the upwardly extending pipe, also forms a support for the fitting upon the floor. As illustrated in Fig. 1 the shoulder F is adapted to rest directly upon the floor and support the fitting between the fioor and the ceiling of the lower room.

In order to provide proper drainage, the

laterally extending arm B is provided with a downward inclination from the upturned elbow to the vertical section A. To prevent interference with the vent connection, by

reason of this downward inclination, the

u per ortion of the arm is provided with a 0 anne I, which is inclined upwardly from the elbow to the vertical pipe. The laterally extending nipples D and E intersect the arm B' in the u per portion thereof, and thus communicate lioth with the said pi pcand the channel I thereof.

What. I claim as my invention is:

1. A pipe fitting comprising a vertical pipe section, an integral laterally extending pipearm terminating in an upturned elbow, and one or more connections to said arm intenmediatc said elbow and the vertical section, said armhaving a vent channel therein communicating with said connections.

2. A pipe fitting comprising a verticah section, an integral laterally extending pipe arm terminating in an sptarned elbsw and eppe= sitely laterally extending nipples or pi 0. connections on said arm intermediate sai elbow and the vertical pipe section, said arm havrro tem will be formed. If, however, the fitting ing a vent channel communicating with said I is used in flats or other places where connecnipples.

' with a vent pipe.

3. A pipe fitting'comprising a vertical pipe section, an integral laterally extending pipe arm terminating inan upturned elbow, a laterally extending nip 1e or pipe connection on said arm, said arm libvin a vent channel opening from said nipple an a nipple or' pipe connection for the connection of said channel 4. A'pipe fitting comprising a vertical pipe section, oppositel laterally extending pipe arms integral wit said vertical section, one

of said arms terminating in an upturned elbow, one or more laterally extending nipples or pipe connections on one of said arms and a vent connection leading from said nipples,

for the purpose described.

I 5. A pipe fittingcomprising a vertical pipe section, an integral laterally extending pipe arm terminating in an upturned elbow, one or more pipe connections to said arm intermediate said 'elbowand the vertical section, a vent connection communicating with said pipe connections and a socket cou lingportion forming a vent inclined upwardly om the elbow to the vertical section.

- 7. A pipe fitting comprising a vertical pipe section, an integral laterally extending pipe arm terminating in an upturned elbow, said arm being inclined downwardly from said .el

bow to said vertical section, a channeled extension of said arm forming a vent inclined 4o upwardly from said elbowto said vertical with, and terminating in an up-turned elbow,

a pipe connected with said laterally-extending ortion intermediate said elbow and vertica pipe, and a channel forming a constant air communication between the 'last mentioned pipe and said vertical pipe, said channel being formed within the upper portion of said laterally-extending ipe.

9'. The combination w1th a vertical pi e, of a laterally-extending pipe connected t ierewith, and terminating in an up-turned elbow, a channel within said laterally-extending pipe above the level of the elbowa'nd com municating with said verticalpipe, anda nipple on'said laterally-extending pipe forming a connection in constant communication with said air channel.

ipe fitting comprising an elbow having a aterally-extending arm, a channel formed in. and extending longitudinally of said lateral arm above the level of its communication with the vertical portion of the elbow, and a pipe connecting with said lateral ariln indirect communication with said channe In testimony whereof I afi'ix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
